Gordon Beningfield (British, 1936 - 1998) "Indian Paintbrush" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the U.S. 29c Indian Paintbrush stamp issued July 24, 1992. lthough Castilleja coccinea is the most common eastern species, most Castilleja species are often found in the western two-thirds of the continent as indicated on the map. Easy to recognize with their bright, brush-like forms, it is often difficult to identify them to the species level. Indian paintbrushes bloom from spring to summer in dry to moist soils of open sunny areas including grasslands, mountain meadows and forest clearings. Although the most common color is red, paintbrushes exhibit a rainbow of other hues, including pink, purple, yellow and orange. The colorful "petals" are actually pigmented leaves or bracts that help attract pollinators, such as bees and hummingbirds, to the nectar of the small, greenish-yellow flowers at the base of each bract. A member of the snapdragon family -- Scrophulariaceae -- Indian paintbrush grows best when it attaches itself to the roots of a host plant. Image Size: 7 x 6 in. Overall Size: 11.25 x 10.25 in. Unframed. (B12848)
